4Q: 0:00: Red 38, Blue 0: Aleem Sunanon kicked a 38-yard field goal on the final play to close out the game 38.0.

4Q: 8:15: Red 35, Blue 0: Quarterback Grant Powell, coming over from the Blue team, directed a touchdown drive with the Red team, and got the score himself on an 8-yard run around right end.

END OF 3Q: Red 28, Blue 0: There were no scores in the 12-minute, running clock quarter.

END OF FIRST HALF: Red 28, Blue 0: As expected, the Red (first team) offense has dominated the Blue (second team) defense, scoring 28 points in the first half (two 10-minute quarters). Aleem Sunanaon missed a 44-yard field goal with 27 second left int he half that would have added to that total. Brandon Bridge overthrew a wide open T.J. Glover in the end zone on the third-down play prior to Sunanon's field goal try.

2Q: 4:34: Red 28, Blue 0: Terrance Timmons scores on a 5-yard run to add to the Red team's total. It capped a 13-play, 58-yard drive.

2Q: 9:41: Red 21, Blue 0: In special teams work that does not count on the scoreboard, Aleem Sunanon and Zac Henry both made field goal tries of 41 yards, but both missed the mark from 52 yards out.

2Q: 9:41: Red 21, Blue 0: Xavier Johnson scored a touchdown on a 1-yard run for the Red. It capped an eight-play, 52-yard drive that included a pair of dropped passes that would have been good for scores.

End of 1Q: Red 14, Blue 0: Two long throws by Brandon Bridge, both on the money, were dropped -- one by T.J. Glover, the other by Braedon Bowman. The Bowman drop ended the first period. On fourth down, Red team gets an offside penalty on the defense and a first down.

1Q: 3:49: Red 14, Blue 0: After the Red defense held the Blue offense with little trouble, the Red offense returned to the field and the end zone. Kendall Houston got the score on a 4-yard run. Trey Fetner was at quarterback for the drive. Xavier Johnson had a nice 28-yard run on the drive.

1Q: 7:22: Red 7, Blue 0: As expected, the Red team offense marched down the field quickly and effectively. Brandon Bridge capped an eight-play, 70-yard drive by throwing a 31-yard touchdown pass to Jereme' Jones. Bridge also had a couple of pass completions to Marvin Shinn on the drive.

The No. 1 offense will go against the No. 2 defense to get things started, with the No. 1 defense playing against the No. 2 offense. There will be a few adjustments in that formula along the way, but for the most part that will be the setup. The coaching staff chose to keep the various units together this year instead of splitting the teams and various No. 1 and No. 2 units up as in previous spring games.

The Red team represents the No. 1 offense and defense for this purpose, though obviously all are not starters. For example, the Red quarterbacks are Brandon Bridge and Trey Fetner and the Red running backs are Terrance Timmons, Xavier Johnson and Kendall Houston. At wide receiver and tight end, the Red team will have Marvin Shinn, Braedon Bowman, Josh Magee, Rush Hendricks, Wes Saxton, T.J. Glover, Jake Howton, Cameron Broadnax, Jereme' Jones and Ryan Onkka.

On defense, the Red team has all four returning starters in the secondary -- Terrell Brigham, Roman Buchanan, Montell Garner and Qudarius Ford -- as well as Anthony Harris, Devon Earl, Steve Fuller, Steffon Fuller, Antonio Carter and Margo Reed.
